The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly._Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too.

In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients.
